New dataset and framework for panoramic robot perception unveiled

Researchers have introduced PanoMMOcc, a new dataset and framework for panoramic multimodal semantic occupancy prediction specifically designed for quadruped robots. The proposed VoxelHound framework addresses challenges in legged locomotion and spherical imaging by incorporating modules to compensate for viewpoint perturbations and fuse information from multiple sensor modalities. Experiments show VoxelHound achieves state-of-the-art performance on the PanoMMOcc dataset, outperforming previous methods. AI

    Panoramic Multimodal Semantic Occupancy Prediction for Quadruped Robots

    arXiv:2603.13108v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Panoramic imagery provides holistic 360{\deg} visual coverage for environmental perception in quadruped robots. However, existing occupancy prediction methods are primarily designed for wheeled autonomous driving and rely …
